Am I crazy to think simplicity is a good thing?

Dear Friends in Christ -

My hope in moving in the direction of a simpler life is that these disciplines will lead me to a better, more beautiful life, with more room for joy. Despite the bigger-is-better, more-is-better messages all around me, the following quotation someone shared with me today gives me encouragement . . .

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage—to move in the opposite direction. (E.F. Schumacker)

May blessings abound as the fruit of our faithfulness,
Janet+
